Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Kabanata 331 - Kabanata 340

Like Colin, he loved me with all his soul but had to suppress his own feelings. He even left home because of my promise to Felix.It seemed like no one had it easy when it came to love.I felt much better when I finished nearly all the pills Colin had bought for me. As my health recovered, I was excited to eat all the fried, greasy food my sick diet deprived me of. However, it became Colin's turn to fall sick.For the first time in my life, Colin was ill.He must have overworked his body from having so much on his plate lately. He had to look after me, go to school, and manage several projects simultaneously.Fortunately, the staff dormitory he stayed in allowed visitations from students.When I went to visit him, Colin was sitting on his bed. He was pale, his eyes had lost their luster, his countenance was sickly, and his nose was red. However, he still sat upright as he usually did.I knew he was trying to look as robust as possible so that I wouldn't worry about him. His thou

Where was the handsome, charming Colin that I used to know?His clothes were crinkled, his hair was messy, he was unshaven, and his eyes were bloodshot.How long had I been asleep? A century? How did Colin become an old man who looked like he had seen the terror of life?The pain in my body was unbearable. I breathed in and out to soothe the pain. Squeezing a smile, I tried to console Colin, "I'm fine. No need to be so upset. It doesn't hurt."Colin's eyes turned red. He kneeled next to me and grabbed my unwounded hand. Then, he buried his face in it silently. Before long, warm liquid flowed through the cracks between my fingers, wetting my entire hand.I had never seen Colin like this before.My palm was soaked and warm."What about Felix? How is he?" I probed gingerly.Colin lifted his head and croaked. I saw pain in his eyes. Tears still adorned the corners of his eyes. The mole under his eye was still as mesmerizing as ever.Was Colin…I sat up in disbelief. The pain clea

Colin fell silent for a very long time when I told him that I wanted to visit Felix. I thought he'd dissuade me. In the end, he just patted my head and told me to wait till my wounds were healed and Felix's condition stabilized.If I insisted on going now, I would only be allowed to see Felix from the door. What was the point of visiting him if we couldn't meet in person?In the evening, Mom wanted to feed me chicken noodle soup. I tried to turn her down because I could feed myself since my right arm was not wounded. However, Mom began crying. Honestly, ever since I was hospitalized, Mom had mastered the art of summoning tears whenever.Not wanting to make my mom cry over dinner, I let her do what she wanted to do.As I chomped on the spoonful of chicken soup, I lifted my eyes and saw Matthew standing by the entrance.Looking dashing and well-groomed, he was carrying a large bouquet of baby's breath in one hand and a huge fruit basket in another. Then, he smiled at me and greeted

"Of course. I'm good at pairing up my close friends." I smiled smugly.Colin held me gently in his arms. He touched my forehead with his face and placed my right hand above his heart. Then, he croaked, "You silly girl, you almost scared me there. Don't act on your own again. No matter what, just let me handle everything for you."You just have to stay by my side like a princess."I found it hard to accept Colin's sudden change of mood.I mewled affirmatively and snuggled in his arms. Listening to his steady heartbeat and taking in the pine-scented cologne on him, I felt calm and safe—like a rescued kitten.Colin planted many kisses on my hair as I held his cheek. We felt the warmth from each other.It was a peaceful moment.Outside, Dad asked Mom why she didn't go inside.Mom stopped Dad and let him sit outside for a while. She said that we were having a special moment inside, so she didn't want to interrupt us.I was so embarrassed I wished I could sink into the mattress. Col

Colin had been looking after Felix tirelessly lately. And he had to make time to take care of me too. He must have been very busy, and that must have taken a toll on his physical health.Unfortunately, I was injured. Handling my daily routine was the best I could do. I couldn't do much to help him.I felt so bad seeing Colin getting skinnier and skinnier.Colin suddenly tightened his grip. I was caged in his embrace.I didn't know if I was overthinking it, but somehow, I was under the impression that Colin felt rather insecure."Babe, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you'll stay by my side, okay?" asked Colin huskily. The incertitude in his tone was unfamiliar to me.When did the almighty Colin become this insecure?I stretched my arms to hug his lean frame, burying myself inside his hoodie and nibbling the skin above his chest. Then, I mumbled, "Why are you saying this, Mr. Colin White? Are you trying to dump me? Just so you know, if you ever dump me, I'll
